Tap repair and installation

Tap repair and installation
Dripping or seized taps waste water and annoy everyone in the household. Many can be repaired with washers or cartridges; others are more economical to replace, especially when spares are discontinued.
Common issues
Ceramic cartridge failure on mixers, worn fibre washers on pillar taps, loose fixing nuts under basins, and spray aerators blocked by scale. Kitchen mixers with pull-out hoses have additional failure points in the hose itself.
Visit workflow
We isolate supplies, protect the basin or sink, repair or swap the tap, renew flexible tails when they are aged, and check isolation valves operate. For new taps we confirm hole centres and deck thickness before fitting. Price agreed before work — see industry context on tap replacement cost.

Hard water and cartridges
Scale is the enemy of ceramic discs. If drips return quickly on a new cartridge, consider wider water treatment or at least regular aerator cleaning. We can discuss softeners under water softener installation.
Matching finishes
Brushed steel, black and brass finishes vary by brand batch. Bring the tap or clear photos if you need a like-for-like aesthetic match.
Isolation for the future
If your basin has no service valves, adding them during a tap swap is inexpensive insurance for the next repair.
